The present invention discloses a self-luminous electric socket. The front cover of the electric socket is a transparent material. The electric socket is internally provided with an LED lamp group. An infrared ray sensing switch capable of controlling the light emitting or extinguishment of the LED lamp is arranged under the electric socket. In a dark environment, when a user wants to use the electric socket, the user approaches the electric socket, when the user enters into the sensing range of the infrared ray sensing switch arranged under the electric socket, the sensor in the infrared ray sensing switch detects the change of a human body infrared spectrum, the infrared ray sensing switch switches on a load automatically, thus the LED lamp group in the electric socket is powered to emit light, the user can conveniently and quickly find the electric socket in the dark, and thus the use can conveniently use the self-luminous electric socket.
